[QUOTE="dougfitz, post: 1228118, member: 10982"] Likewise, I think that the question of whether or not these individuals are pilgrims is a distraction. They might be, but that is not what would necessarily be important. They clearly are not undertaking the Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. There are many things that would indicate to me that if they weren't either intending to walk (or ride) to Santiago or on their return home from there, it would have been entirely inappropriate for them to be using a credential to gain access to pilgrim accommodation. One just has to read the text of the credential to understand that, and by presenting the credential, one is suggesting they have accepted the conditions, including that one is undertaking the Camino to Santiago. The offer of Christian hospitality to pilgrims is clearly in the context of undertaking the Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. While some pilgrim associations and municipalities running albergues might extend that offer to others, that is not a given. If there is anything 'against the spirit of the Camino' it would be expecting the many volunteers that are motivated to support pilgrims undertaking the Camino de Santiago to provide that hospitality when one is not.
